Family Schedule Hub FAQ

Answers about turning school emails and flyers into one family schedule: what it costs, how AI extraction works, kid access, calendar sync and privacy.

What does Family Schedule Hub cost?

It's free. Every feature — AI extraction, shared family access, reminders, calendar feeds and kid mode — is included at no cost, with no card required to sign up.

How does the AI turn school emails and flyers into schedule items?

Paste the email text or upload a screenshot of the flyer, then tap Extract. The app reads dates, deadlines, dollar amounts and what you actually have to do, and gives you editable cards. Nothing is saved until you review and confirm each item.

Can my partner or a grandparent see the same schedule?

Yes. Everyone in your family shares one schedule. Send the invite link or code from the Family screen, and anyone who joins sees the same kids, items and to-dos in real time.

Can my kids check things off without an account?

Yes — Kid Mode creates a read-only link (optionally PIN-protected) that shows their week and to-dos. You choose which kids it covers and whether they can check items off. No child account, email or password is ever needed.

Does it work with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar?

Yes. Add a single item straight to Google Calendar or download an .ics file, or subscribe to your family's live calendar feed — including per-child feeds — so dated items appear automatically in Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar.

Do I need to install an app from the App Store?

No. Family Schedule Hub is a web app you add to your home screen in a couple of taps, so it opens full screen like a native app and can send reminder notifications.

Will I get reminders about unchecked to-dos?

Yes. Once you allow notifications, you'll get a nightly nudge listing anything still unchecked or coming due, so permission slips and payments don't slip past the deadline.

What happens to my family's data?

Your schedule is private to your family and protected by per-family access rules. You can export everything as JSON at any time, and deleting your account removes your family's data. We follow COPPA-aligned practices and never sell data or advertise to children.

Can I use it for more than one child?

Yes — add as many kids as you like, each with a color and grade. Items can apply to one child, several, or all of them, and every screen can be filtered down to a single child.
